About New Jersey HBOT

Nearly 20 years of experience. Evidence-based care. A team that treats you like a person, not a protocol.

Oxygen NJ is one of New Jersey’s earliest and longest-standing hyperbaric oxygen therapy clinics, serving the community for nearly 20 years. Our work in hyperbaric medicine began with a personal experience that changed everything—when Dr. Jason Sonners recovered from a serious injury with the help of hyperbaric oxygen.

After successfully applying HBOT to some of the most challenging cases in his clinical work, Dr. Sonners recognized hyperbaric oxygen as a critical modality for patient care. As the field expanded, he also identified major gaps in education around the science, mechanisms of action, and clinical protocols, leading him to develop formal training programs for healthcare providers and hyperbaric technicians.

Today, Dr. Sonners travels internationally teaching and certifying clinicians and technicians, helping raise safety standards and best practices across the hyperbaric industry. Our mission remains clear: to advance responsible, evidence-based hyperbaric care and make it accessible to patients who need it most.

Curious if hyperbaric therapy may be right for you? Our team is happy to talk through your goals and answer your questions.
